Summary

The main idea behind the first efforts to treat newborn patients was to create a womb-like environment that would allow sick infants suffering from the complications of premature birth, to grow. The recent development of newborn intensive care presents a challenging case for analyzing the reinvention of acute care medicine for this new population of infant patients.
